How did you guys get such really nice raw books? ...did you buy them graded, then open them? ....or just being patient, waited for months/years to get the right copy?

there are not many 8+ raw silver these days? most of the nice ones have been slabbed

Thank you. I bought that book so long ago. I wasn’t thinking about centering and all that at the time. I just needed a nice looking copy for my run.

I completed my FF run in 1991, almost a decade before CGC existed. I suspect that I'm not alone; and that there are large numbers of nice, raw silver age comics sitting in collections.

I had FF 2-60 complete by 1985. I doubt I paid more than $60 for any issue. Unfortunately I ran out of money and sold all of them in 88’ to pay tuition for college. Every book was at least a vg+. I should mention it was no easy feat back then. CBG was a blessing in those pre-internet days. The only comic book store was 20 miles away.

Bought these out of the CBG in 1991.
